Unit 104 is very nicely furnished-a great "beach feel"
The Islander is our new go to! The grounds are very well maintained and love the short walk to the beach

Another stay at the Islander 2022-04-04

By: MARY K. Trip Date: 2022-03-25

We have stayed many times at the islander and keep coming back for more! It offers every thing we could ask for in a vacation rental. Unit 104 had everything we needed in general. The condition of 104 could use some maintenance. The king bed was truly only half usable. The right side of the bed was so worn and sloped toward the floor. Sleeping on that side could have resulted in falling out of bed. The kitchen seemed beat up a bit. The counter top had a chip in it, the refrigerator was dented and scratched. Still had a wonderful time though! We are so happy to see Alan is back at the beach! We do love Alan! We are already looking at booking another trip there and would just choose another unit!

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were less then pleased with the unit that you stayed in. We will make sure to reach out to the Owner's and give some recommendations for our future guest bookings. However, we are glad that you enjoyed the location of the unit being that it's very convenient for most guests to get to the beach and pools. We hope you will come back and see us soon !

The islander is located on Gulf Shore Drive. Very close for shopping restaurants golf and beautiful Beach. Two pools one heated all winter. Two hot tubs. Pickle ball & tenis courts. The resort is kept very clean. Friendly staff. The Condo could use some redecorating.

Thanksgiving get away 2021-12-01

By: JULIE W. Trip Date: 2021-11-23

We love the Islander! We have stayed there for nearly 30 years! We prefer the east side 1st floor. We recently stayed in unit 104. It was clean and provided all we needed, but the bathrooms are both in need of an update. There were a couple other issues I shared with the front desk, but otherwie a great stay and nice weather. We plan to return in the spring and have booked unit 103.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for your feedback ! We appreciate your recommendations and we will work on this for our future guests. We look forward to having you as a guest in the future.

We had a great vacation and stay. But I did feel like the owners of the condo do need to update the condo. The wood on the bathroom vanity is rotten, and the shower had mildew stains.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for your feedback ! We appreciate your recommendations and we will work on this for our future guests. We will make sure to reach out to the owner to let them know about these recommendations. We look forward to having you as a guest in the future.

Islander 104 2021-05-10

By: tracey h. Trip Date: 2021-05-06

Wonderful! Check in was fantastic and easy on Thursday. Check out even better as we were allowed to stay a few extra hours. We REALLY appreciate. Condo 104 was so well decorated and everything we needed was available. Towel supply fantastic. Mattress in both rooms could be updated and replaced. Twin beds headboards need to be adjusted to the bed frame as they moved a lot when getting on and off the bed. Location of 104 was great and easy to go to the beach.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for comments on the mattresses and bed frames. I will pass those on to the owners and maintenance . We love that you had a wonderful time in unit 104.

Beautiful Beach Resort 2021-04-16

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-03-25

The Islander is one of my favorite vacation locations. The walk to the beach is short, just over the boardwalk, and the pools are just the right temperature. The grounds are beautiful, clean, and usually well maintained. This year the tennis court was unusable, so no tennis tournament for the teens. There were a few maintenance issues with the unit, but nothing major. The main issue was the smell in the unit upon arrival. It was a mixture of cleaning chemicals and stagnant air. It was not terrible, but definitely unpleasant. With the windows open it dissipated after about two days, but those two days were temperate and had about 90-100% humidity. After the smell was gone and it was warm enough to turn on the air conditioner, to dry everything out, it was again the great vacation we expected.

Response from The Islander Management:

We are trying to get the tennis courts fixed from Hurricane Sally. Unfortunately it was not an easy process like we hoped. Sorry to hear about the smell in the unit . We are glad o hear that over all though you a great vacation.

This was our 4th trip to Destin & have stayed at the Islander every time. Me, my mom & 88 yr old grandma love it. We stay on the 1st floor & has easy access to the beach & pool. Everyone there is friendly & they keep the grounds clean. We will definitely be back.

Great Stay Overall 2017-09-25

By: Sara A. Trip Date: 2017-09-17

We love the Islander and have been coming for many years. We love having the space and the full kitchen when we travel. Plus the complimentary beach service can't be beat! We chose a first floor unit this year as opposed to one of the nicer ones a little higher up so that we could experience walking out our patio straight to the pools and beach. We unfortunately received a call 2 days before our stay stating that they would be weatherproofing the building and we would not have access to our patio the majority of our stay. We were beyond disappointed, but thankfully the work was going a little slower than planned so we were actually able to use it for 2 full days.

The main problem we had with this unit were the mattresses and the pillows. They were HORRIBLE and in dire need of replacing. After our first night, we had to make a run to the store to purchase new pillows just so that we could at least get a little sleep the rest of the week.

All in all, we will definitely return to the Islander, but would only stay in this unit if there were not any others available.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you so much for your feedback. We do apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your recent stay with us here at the Islander. The current updating (waterproofing & painting) hopefully will be completed as soon as possible. We will notify the owner about the mattresses and pillows. We hope when you travel to Destin, you’ll let us know when you’re coming and we can reserve your favorite room
